Good for stopping on way to a destination but not as a destination itself. quiet time is 10pm except for the train that runs all hours of the night.

Pd for full hooks-ups, but site was laid out so we could not connect to sewer! Wouldn't have mattered; sewer was higher than our RV. (Duh! It rolls downhill!)Dog fee was not mentioned until conf email - too late to receive refund. Dog run contained pokeweed, all parts of which poisonous to dogs & humans. A site near ours had an active hornet's nest. Worst KOA ever! Best thing: booked only 1 nite.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your interesting comments. If it was that bad why did you stay the one night? I bet you won't find anything else. Campers around you told me in the morning about your situation and were worried about you. Sorry, but we can't fix the world.

It was very accommodating and clean. Everyone was nice and especially, Lenny. Thank u June Villines

At $44+ a night, I expected more. First they were having a Day Kamp for kids and if you like screeming kids, you'll love it! We get to the site they assigned us at the office, and we couldn't get our 3 slides out plus the awning. They gave us a new site and we could get the 3 slides out but NOT the awning. Not impressed at all for the money and we are heading from NY to Calif. at these prices!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Well, we always recommend doing a reservation upfront, especially when you have special requirements. We're sorry but this was one of our last available sites, we have assigned you. Last time we checked on you, all slides and awning were out and looked fine.

We had a great time and enjoyed all of the in activities provided. Great staff and fun times.

Great location and facilities, very welcoming and pleasant place to stay for night.

Place was nice. Didn't use bathroom or facilities. Charging per dog will turn off any friends that like to use KOA. We are dog lovers if we'd of known that before signing papers we would have left.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

When you travel with dogs you expect a clean dog run, where you can walk the dog and play or exercise with it, leash free. We have set up two dog runs at our park. We clean our dog runs daily, provide poopy bags, give you doggie treats at check in, and both dog parks feature a nightlight for you.

Great campground. On site owners are extremely active and take wonderful care of their employees and campers. The best KOA I have stayed at this year.

We had a very enjoyable stay overall. A little nosy at times because of train tracks nearby, but after a day you tuned them out. Our site was under mulberry trees that dropped berries on RV and made for a restless night, but once we moved to a new site it was much better. Thomas was very friendly & helpful especially for us 1st time RV'ers. Wagon ride, bikes, & ice cream were a big hit w/our kids.

Been there before. This time we had another great stay. Will be back.

staff was very helpful when I had a problem with my door.

We had a tornado alert and the staff was very good in warning us. We were however surprised that a business like yours did not have a real, basement shelter.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We do the evacuations into our main building voluntarily. Indiana doesn't require any storm shelters. Our main building, which is a pretty solid log building, is for sure a much a safer place than your motorhome. IMHO every camper should carry a NOAA weather radio in his/her RV.

Jul 03, 2014

The campground was very clean and well run by the staff. The pool was clean and the kids enjoyed using it. The shower houses were also clean and the privacy was a bonus for my family.

We arrived to a very welcoming staff! Just after midnight we were woken to a Tornado siren and the staff quickly made sure everyone was aware of the best place to take cover(Main building). Luckily we were missed by the severe weather. A Well Done to the staff. Thank-you, we'll be back...

Very friendly, helpful staff. Sites are very narrow. Our sewer was right next to the neighbors fire pit that the we're cooking at. A bit awkward.

The campground was clean, safe, and friendly. There were many nice things there but the train coming by every 2 hours day and night was annoying. It kept me and my son awake at night.

Jun 30, 2014

Friendly, efficient check in, clean. Close to a great grocery store and restaurant. Stayed here in a motor home. Would stay again.

Jun 30, 2014

People that work there are very nice and want to help make your stay great.

Jun 30, 2014

Very CLEAN very Friendly.Wish the mini golf arcade and petting zoo was upgraded. We were looking forward to the movie also till the kids seen it was from 1975 that didnt interest the 13yr olds or my 4yr old. Nice touch with the bikes thou. Kids had alot of fun even thou I would stay at this campground again I would plan to stay more with upgrades. thank you, we did have a great time:)

This was our first stay at a KOA and it was wonderful! Everything was nice but the people were even nicer! The owners seem to be wonderful people who really care about their guests. They have an employee named Lenny who is by far one of the nicest people we've encountered at any business. He was wonderful and made our trip even more enjoyable! Thank you KOA Granger for a wonderful trip!

Some things very good, and some things not so good. For camping in a cabin, more expensive than a nice hotel, but with fewer amenities. Trouble with electrical failure in cabin my daughter slept in, can't run several things at once or will blow breaker to two buildings. Then asked for a grill for the day, got it later in afternoon and it was in very poor shape, dirty and greasy.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

On a muggy day if you have the a/c running full throttle, all the stove tops are on, microwaves are being used and several crock pots are fired up, it isn't a big surprise that a breaker can pop. And with all respect the grill was reserved for dinner time.
